There are three parts to this replication set, each in their own folder.

1.) LFSS survey (run 2009 through Knowledge Networks/Gfk with TESS funding):
This folder contains the main survey data for the analysis, as well as scripts that go from the survey data to the various point estimates, tables, and plots shown in the paper.  The main Stata do-file, "LFreplication_LFSS2009analysis.do" pulls in the main dataset and outputs a series of tables and point estimates.  You'll want to run this script first.  Then, the R script "LFreplication_LFSS2009analysis_plotting.R" pulls in some of the resulting tables and produces figures from the paper.

2.) Mechanical Turk follow-up survey (run 2015):
This folder contains the de-identified survey data from the follow-up MTurk survey described in the paper and the web appendix.  In this folder, the R script "LFreplication_MTurkanalysisspring2015.R" reproduces all the analysis discussed in the paper as well as the SI.  The tex file "onlineappendix_pt1.tex" produces the online appendix itself.  

3.) ANES 2012 supplemental analysis:
This folder contains replication data for the additional analysis of the 2012 NES linked fate items discussed in the paper.  The file "anes_timeseries_2012_stata12.dta" is simply the ANES timeseries data as downloaded from the ANES website; the script "LFreplication_ANES2012analysis.do" pulls in this file and replicates all analysis discussed in the paper.
